Even though Elder Liao was only the lowest-ranked managing elder, his cultivation was still at Saint 7-dan Phantasmal Space realm. For an expert of that caliber to acknowledge a Leaving Aperture realm fellow as his teacher …
Are you for real?
The students of the Elite Division stared at Zhang Xuan as if they had seen a ghost.
Feng Ziyi felt a burning sensation on his face, and he nearly spurted blood.
It was just a moment ago that he wanted to challenge the other party to a duel, and the other party suddenly sent an elder whose cultivation was even higher than his … How was he supposed to compete with the other party?
The slap to his face was too swift!
Zhang Yu was frenzied.
To have an elder acknowledge him as his teacher, what the heck was that?
"Elder Liao from the Alley of Puppets?"
Zhang Xuan was also stunned for a moment before widening his eyes in realization.
Twenty days ago, when he was challenging the Alley of Puppets, he had failed to control his strength and ended up destroying the entire passageway. Feeling deeply apologetic about it, he had casually instructed Elder Liao not to practice the Frigid Yin Formula for the time being.
Back then, the other party hadn't thought much of it. But now that he was here to acknowledge Zhang Xuan as his teacher, it was likely that he had noticed something amiss.
"Let him in!"
Knowing what was going on, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
"Yes!"
The student glanced at Fei shi, and seeing that the latter had agreed to it, he quickly backed out of the room.
Not too long later, two students walked in with a stretcher. A person was lying on it weakly, seemingly on the verge of fainting at any moment.
Beside the stretcher was a white-bearded elder with a deep frown on his forehead.
"It's Saint Healer Bai Yu!"
Upon seeing the appearance of the elder, Feng Ziyi's eyebrows shot up.
"Saint Healer Bai Yu?"
Zhang Xuan turned to look at Feng Ziyi.
Even though he had been in the Sanctum of Sages for more than twenty days now, he had spent most of his time outside, so he hadn't asked anyone about him. As such, there were many elders and experts whom he didn't recognize.
"He's the person in charge of the Physician Guild in the Sanctum of Sages. His medical skills have reached an unfathomable level, and he's known as the Saint Healer Bai Yu!"
Feng Ziyi nodded.
While Sage Bai Yu wasn't the strongest person in the Sanctum of Sages, and he didn't reveal his true prowess, there was no doubt that he was one of the top few in the Sanctum of Sages.
It was unknown how many experts had received his grace and benefits.
As such, his reputation.
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"A Sage Physician is following him, and he's lying on a stretcher. Could it be that … Elder Liao didn't heed my advice and continued cultivating the Frigid Yin Formula?"
He frowned.
Previously, he had specially warned the other party not to cultivate at all costs, but now that the other party was acting in such a manner, it couldn't be that the other party didn't heed his advice, right?
"Are you Zhang Xuan?"
It didn't take long for them to arrive before Physician Baiyu.
"He is Zhang Shi … I hope Zhang Shi can save me …"
On the stretcher, Elder Liao's face was pale, as if there was a layer of frost on the surface of his body. His body trembled uncontrollably, and before Zhang Xuan could reply, he struggled to sit up.
"How could this be?"
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
Even though he could tell that the other party's body was suffering from hidden injuries and advised him not to cultivate the Cold Yin Formula, even if he did cultivate it, as long as he dealt with it properly, there shouldn't be any major problems. Why did he suddenly become like this?
"Calm down, or else no one will be able to save you!"
With a tap of his finger, Physician Baiyu secured Elder Liao onto the stretcher once more. "Were you the one who advised him not to cultivate the Cold Yin Formula a while ago?"
"That's right!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Preposterous!"
Physician Baiyu waved his hand and glared at Zhang Xuan coldly. "You know the condition of his body, so you advised him not to cultivate the Cold Yin Formula? Considering how young you are, don't you know the severity of the consequences? "
"What do you mean?"
Not expecting the other party to reprimand him so directly, Zhang Xuan frowned.
In order to compensate for the destruction of the Alley of Puppets, he had used the Library of Heaven's Path to look into the other party's condition. As the other party had suffered some internal injuries that conflicted with the Cold Yin Formula, he knew that it would place a heavy burden on his body if he continued cultivating the Cold Yin Formula.
But judging from the other party's tone, it seemed like the reason why Elder Liao was in such a state was because he didn't allow him to cultivate the Cold Yin Formula.
Even if he didn't allow the other party to cultivate the Cold Yin Formula, as a Saint 7-dan elder, he shouldn't be so obedient!
"What do you mean?"
Placing his hands behind his back, Physician Baiyu's face turned livid. "Back then, when Liao Xin fought with someone, his body was afflicted with fire poison, and he required the Cold Yin Formula to suppress it. You advised him not to cultivate the Cold Yin Formula, and the fire poison flared up, resulting in his current condition … Why? Are you still trying to deny it?
"If you don't know anything about medicine, it's best that you don't diagnose others casually. Even if you do, you shouldn't jump to conclusions without sufficient strength. Don't you know that quacks harm others?"
The more Physician Baiyu spoke, the more furious he became.
He had a close relationship with Elder Liao, and he didn't expect the other party to be on the verge of death in just a few days. How could he not be infuriated?
If not for the words of the other party, he wouldn't have ended up in such a state.
"You are saying that … this is the result of the Cold Yin Formula?"
Zhang Xuan was stunned.
To say that the other party's entire body was covered in frost and that it was the result of the Cold Yin Formula … Was this a joke?
"That's right. What he was afflicted with was the Cold Yin Formula. Once it flared up, his body would be as cold as ice while his body would be as scorching hot as a furnace, incinerating his zhenqi and dantian. The Cold Yin Formula is the best cultivation technique for suppressing the Cold Yin Formula!"
Physician Baiyu harrumphed.
"Cold Yin Formula?"
Zhang Xuan didn't think much of it, but Fei shi's body suddenly trembled, and his face paled. "Is Physician Baiyu referring to … the Cold Yin Formula in the Subterranean Gallery?"
"The Subterranean Gallery?"
"There are seven of the most dangerous Subterranean Galleries on the Master Teacher Continent. They are the passageways that lead to the otherworldly battlefield, and the seventh of them is the Cold Yin Formula!"
"I've heard of it as well. The Cold Yin Formula is known to be the Cold Yin Formula. It's as cold as frost and as hot as fire. While it's called a Cold Yin Formula, it possesses all of the attributes of a Cold Yin Formula. If a Saint high-tier artifact were to fall into it, it would be reduced to liquid instantaneously …"
The crowd spoke with hushed voices.
Most of them were geniuses from various powers and clans, so even though the Subterranean Gallery was a secret, they still knew a thing or two about it.
"Indeed, it's the Cold Yin Formula. Back then, in order to prevent the Otherworldly Demons from escaping from the Subterranean Gallery, Liao Xin fell into the underground flames. Even though he managed to escape with his life, he was still afflicted with Cold Yin Formula …" Physician Baiyu shook his head.
"Even after using the Blood Reformation and Bone Scraping Secret Art, he still wasn't able to resolve the problem. He could only cultivate the Cold Yin Formula every day to suppress the Cold Yin Formula. During this period of time, I left the Subterranean Gallery to look for the Fiery Lotus so as to resolve the problem in his body. However, who could have thought that a freshman like you would actually stop him from cultivating the Cold Yin Formula, resulting in such a situation. At this moment, the Cold Yin Formula has already reached the depths of his soul.
"This …"
Hearing Physician Baiyu's explanation, everyone turned to look at Physician Baiyu.
Fei shi frowned as well.
Medicine was different from other occupations. Quacks would only harm others. If one couldn't determine the cause of the illness, it was best not to treat others.
"Physician Baiyu, you can't say that. I only stopped because I felt that there was a problem with the Cold Yin Formula. This situation has nothing to do with Zhang Shi …"
On the stretcher, Elder Liao shook his head.
"How can you still trust him after putting you in such a state?"
Physician Baiyu's beard rose in anger.
"To be able to tell that I'm cultivating the Cold Yin Formula with a single glance, I think that his words are trustworthy …"
Elder Liao said.
The Cold Yin Formula was a well-hidden cultivation technique, and the other party was able to recognize it with a single glance. On top of that, he even tried to dissuade him from cultivating it. Back then, he was shocked, and after pondering over the matter, he decided to stop cultivating the Cold Yin Formula.
Initially, he was already feeling better and better, but who could have known that the Cold Yin Formula would suddenly erupt three days ago, resulting in such a situation.
Even Physician Baiyu was helpless before it.
Helpless, he recalled the words of the young man and decided to look for him.
Considering how the other party was able to see through the Cold Yin Formula and achieve a feat that even the little princess of the Luo Clan was unable to do at such a young age, there was a good chance that the other party might really have a way to help him recover.
That was why the young man said that he would acknowledge the other party as his teacher.
So what if the other party was willing to acknowledge the other party as his teacher? Putting aside him, even the elders of the Sanctum of Sages would be impressed by the other party's medical skills.
"Trustworthy? To think that it would become like this … "
Physician Baiyu was on the verge of exploding.
He really couldn't understand what his old friend was thinking.
Even he, the Holy Physician of the Sanctum of Sages, didn't believe in the other party's medical skills. Yet, he chose to believe a student who had just entered the Sanctum of Sages …
"Alright, since the other party is already so ill, stop arguing. Let me see what's going on …"
Seeing the two bickering, Zhang Xuan shook his head helplessly.
He had checked the other party's condition through the Library of Heaven's Path, so there shouldn't have been any problem stopping the other party from cultivating the Cold Yin Formula. How could it possibly cause the Cold Yin Formula to erupt?
"Why don't you take a look? Do you know anything about medicine? "
Physician Baiyu frowned.
Too lazy to answer the other party's question, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist and tossed an emblem over.
Catching the emblem, Physician Baiyu lowered his head to take a look, and what he saw left him stunned.
The seven stars on the emblem shone brightly.
Even though the other party was a Seven Star physician, given how he was able to obtain such an emblem, it was unlikely that the other party was a person who spoke nonsense.
"Alright, I'll see what you have to say then …"
Knowing that the other party was a true physician, and a Seven Star one at that, Physician Baiyu's hostility, waved his hand.
Fei shi and the others were also curious to see what was going on.
Zhang Shi's display of swordsmanship was incredibly powerful, and his ability to guide others was far superior to theirs … Considering how he had become an Inceptive Sage after his spirit enchantment, it would be truly incredible if his medical skills were to be formidable as well.
"Un."
Ignoring the crowd, Zhang Xuan walked up to Elder Liao and placed his hand on the latter's forehead. A moment later, he shook his head.
"How is it?"
Seeing that there was something amiss with Zhang Xuan's expression, Elder Liao asked worriedly.
"This …"
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment before asking, "Elder Liao, may I discuss something with you?"
"Zhang Shi, feel free to speak your mind. As long as it can alleviate my pain, I won't turn it down …"
Elder Liao replied weakly, as if he couldn't even lift his fist anymore.
"That's good …"
Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. With a sincere look on his face, he asked, "Can I knock you out first?"
"Knock you out?"
"That's right. If it's really inconvenient, you can just knock yourself out. In any case, as long as you are knocked out, I'll be able to diagnose your illness and treat you …"
Zhang Xuan scratched his head awkwardly.
"…" Elder Liao.
"…" Physician Baiyu.
